Revealing mistake: When the robotic Doctor first appears - and in many of the later scenes involving the jungle on Mechanus - it is very obviously not William Hartnell playing him, but a vaguely similar double. In addition, his lines have been dubbed by Hartnell and do not always match the movements of his mouth.
Revealing mistake: In episode 1 when the Doctor, Ian, Barbara, and Vicky leave the TARDIS, wheels are visible which move the prop around. There is also no back to the prop.
Revealing mistake: In episode 1 when the Doctor is checking the controls you can see the studio lights to the top left corner where the set doesn't completely connect.
Answer: It was never destroyed on-screen; it was intact at the end of the TV movie, and destroyed by the start of the 2005 series. It was destroyed in the novel "The Ancestor Cell," but in a completely different manner to what happened in the series.
